Just take it one day at a time don't look at the big picture meal preps and making a grocery list will help a lot also journaling is really good to write things down
I can't walk I use a walker it's not easy and the pain from my knees is excruciating but I get up every morning and push myself through the pain
You can do this you have lots of support here

Hi. I’m sorry that you’re in pain.. I do know that when I was that heavy( 264 heaviest) my knees hurt like hades.. but then I got rid of a 180 lb problem( ex) and got angry at myself for eating myself there. So today I am holding at 189 and I’m happy with myself. I eat healthier and do a Pahla B Fitness workout on YouTube daily( 5-6 days) I don’t drink as much water as I should but I’m eating WAAY better. Hope this helps.

Hi Janice!!

You can succeed! Take what I am about to say with love!!

You have to start focusing on your health when you eat. Being obese is very very detrimental. Yes it's hard BUT it's a mind thing. Our minds controls what we choose to eat, when to eat, the amount we eat. It's all up to us. We can put it on our pain, our anxiety, or stress or other things but at the end of the day it's still our choice.

I was skinny all my life. A lady would put both of her hands 👐 around my waist. Yes those was the good Ole days. I'm 5'10 and now I'm obese and have been for years. I lose...keep it off then fall of track. I loose again they gain it back. This shows that when I'm focused.....I'm sticking to the plan and I lose weight. If I choose 1 day to chest...I have really messed up. It's up to me to be consistent and follow the plan because I know that it works. My daughter lost over 50 lbs because she was very dedicated and she knew how to say NO thanks or she didn't buy what she wasn't supposed to eat. She's kept it off for 5 years! I'm very proud of her!

We have to speak positive things about ourselves because our minds here us. Let's stop hurting ourselves and do it. Let's help each other do our best!!

Self Sabotage is so hard to deal with and can be based in so many things - past, emotional makeup, environment, etc. I don't know if you have tried therapy to help you understand why you do what you do to yourself, but it might help. I did therapy for many years to try and help me accept and love myself. It doesn't fix anything but can provide tools for you to work with. Also developing and saying a list of positive affirmations daily or even multiple times a day can help. Also journaling about what was/is going on when the self sabotage takes place. I've had to go back to all these things as I have come to realize I have an eating addiction so working on self care and love has become a priority. Good luck!

Thank You
